Happy (almost) Birthday, Resli!

This week, Resli will turn six (!!!!!). 
We had her family party on the weekend, so that even our special out of town guests (Liz, Brian and Nana) would be able to attend. After the entertainment, we moved on to presents before dinner. Resli did an excellent job reading all her cards herself, and then opened her wonderful gifts.
 
There were a combination of items, from books to clothes to toys to dictionaries. All in all a wonderful birthday treat for her. Here she is showing off the Wizard of Oz snow-globe from Grandpa - a huge hit! - and modeling the new outfit from Harvey and me. 
 
One of the biggest hits in the book department was a set of the next four books that we need in the Magic Treehouse series - such a hit that it resulted in dancing and singing.
Then of course, the real highlight was cake.
The girls waited patiently for it to make its appearance... 
Resli had said she wanted a "flower" cake, so I did my best to please her:

It was a fabulous party and Resli couldn't have been happier. She's looking forward to a Girl Scouts party Monday evening and some kind of singing and popsicle thing at school on Tuesday, the big day itself.
I can't believe she's already six years old!
